Dukes Ride and the West Gates, Wellington College, Crowthorne, Frith no: 81589
This is the main entrance into Wellington College. I think I once read that the gates get their name not from their location, but because they were given to the College by the West family.
All in all, the entrance is fairly similar. The gates are still there, though the piece across the top has gone.

The name is from the west family there is/was a name plate on the gates stating that they were a gift from the west family as well as the other gates at the other end of the drive
Whoops i should say the other gates are a gift from the Mourdant family again there is/was a name plate on the gates, still there but a little way down form the original site moved when the new housing estate was built
